Looking for some help from anyone with an Australian Ancestry subscription. Both of the above possibly emigrated from Lancashire to Adelaide between the years 1901 and 1913. My UK-only Ancestry subscription found the entry but it doesn't show me any details.
I am pretty sure Henry, a grocer, returned to the UK in 1913. He may have returned to Australia after that as I cannot find a death for him. Any help is much appreciated.

There's a 1926 death for a Henry Culshaw (age 75) in Adelaide. Residence: Goodwood.
There's also a 1913 passenger record for a Henry Culshaw (born 1858) - London to Adelaide.

Wow! So quick! Thank you all so much.

Further, those death notices mention it took place at his son-in-law's house Mr J Birkett. Henry only had one daughter to my knowledge a Jane A. born about 1880. I wonder who Mr J Birkett was married to?
-
There's a Joseph Birkett (born 1882) who was a grocer. 1924 passenger record for him - London to Adelaide. And a 1945 death in Adelaide. He was widowed in 1945.

That's odd because the Passenger record and Death record have an 1882 birth year for JB.

Again thank you all. Such an amazing response to my initial question. The Henry Culshaw mentioned was my 1st cousin 4 times removed. Sad to hear of John's demise to add to the very many in my family tree. Thanks again.
